Urban Microclimate: Planning and Design Guidelines for Cooling Cities provides readers with the means to measure and model the urban thermal environment with clear guidelines on how to use this data to mitigate against changing climate conditions and severe thermal stress in urban areas, particularly hot and humid regions. All stages of the urban thermal environment are addressed, describing urban microclimates and why they affect the environment and human body, how to acquire the underlying data and quantifiably identify thermal stress hot spots in urban areas, and how to cool cities through planning and design approaches.

Sections cover the underlying theoretical and conceptual science behind urban climatology and meteorology, including surface energy balance, the urban heat island effect, thermal comfort, and human stress effects, how to conduct urban microclimate measurements, remote sensing methods, microclimate modeling, and different instrumentation, and Finally, practical guidance on how to mitigate against changing climate conditions and severe thermal stress in urban areas, providing concepts, design and technique with clear-and-concise instructions that are supported by detailed case studies to illustrate the effectiveness of each method.
